He asserted himself against the alliance \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tof Fidesz and the Christian Democrats, whereby both sides accused each other of \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\telection fraud. Janiczak had already been elected during the official municipal \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\telections of October the 12th. As the hitherto reigning mayor F\u00fcrjes accused Janiczak of electoral fraud, an accusation \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tconfirmed by the court, there was a second \u00a0ballot: <em>\u201cJaniczak won \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe October 12 election with a smaller margin, but former mayor F\u00fcrjes \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tappealed, arguing that more voting slips were found in the ballot boxes than \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe number of people who turned up for the vote. The Debrecen appeals court \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthen went on to annul the results of the earlier election. Jobbik party \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdirector G\u00e1bor Szab\u00f3 issued a statement following the vote claiming that \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJaniczak had gained \u201ca historic victory.\u201d But the party also filed a police \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\treport alleging that Fidesz-affiliated activists had illegally transported Roma \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tresidents to polling stations in an organised fashion.\u201d<\/em> The municipality \u00d3zd \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\thas 35,000 inhabitants, a quarter of them Rroma. After the first ballot of \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOctober the 12, Janiczak announced that local Rroma should adapt, or otherwise \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthey would be driven out of the city. The right-wing nationalist Jobbik party has \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbeen repeatedly noticed for its anti-Rroma rhetoric (Sz\u00e9csi 2014).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sz\u00e9csi, Zoltan (2014) Jobbik triumphs in \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbitter struggle for control of heavily Roma city.
